Zipping through the 6.

When we first came across Jimmy Prime, back when he was still known was Jimmy Johnson, the young Torontonian had a fresh braid-up and a crew that rolled hella deep. But a year later, he's switched up his style, musically and otherwise. In the video for "Cant Stop Myself," premiering on The FADER today, Jimmy has a perm, a VFILES-ready look, and a bright-red ATV that he takes for a solo ride through the streets of Toronto. The Tristan Prime-directed video is oddly soothing, just like the song it illustrates.

Here's how Jimmy explains the video's forward-looking steez: "I didn't want a predictable rap visual for this video. I wanted it to be totally unpredictable while still sticking with the theme of the [project's] campaign," he told The FADER. "To me, this video is more like a long extravagant commercial for the whole campaign. It's just the beginning, though."
